Sam Elliott is most likely the stigma of what we look for in our “good-guy” Western actors. With a cool, charming demeanor, Elliott has been a part of Western classics such as: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Quick and the Dead, and Tombstone. In Butch Cassidy, Elliott starred along with his future wife, Katherine Ross. Sam Elliott is often cast as a mentor or guide to other characters in a film and is iconic for his deep voice and controlled personality. Elliott is currently working on the wild-west style drama, Justified, and seems to have no plans of giving up the honorable cowboy character we have come to know and love.
